CAD & GIS

Our design office staff thrives on working in the broad variety of technical environments that are necessary to solve complex problems and assist with the assessment and management of our cultural heritage. We provide flexible drawing office solutions using the latest development tools and technology to produce cost-effective visual and analytical products for all our clients.

Using GIS (Geographic Information System) and AutoCAD we are able to create, manipulate and analyse technical data and share information with ease across a multitude of platforms and in a variety of formats. AutoCAD specifically has remained the most widely used design system available and our design staff are trained and experienced in its use from the creation through survey of architectural style plans and elevations to the production of digital CAD mapping for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects.
